Lunch Money

Reach for this book if you have a child who is always brainstorming 'big ideas,' starting neighborhood businesses, or navigating a tricky rivalry at school. It is an excellent choice for kids who feel misunderstood by adults regarding their ambition or who struggle to collaborate with peers they view as competitors. The story follows Greg and Maura as they move from enemies to business partners in a self-made comic book empire, highlighting the value of creative compromise and intellectual property. It is perfect for ages 8 to 12, offering a grounded look at ethics, school politics, and the satisfying feeling of seeing a hard-earned project come to life. Parents will appreciate how it treats children's entrepreneurial interests with genuine respect while teaching that money is not the only measure of success.
